Karat Gold Bonded
As the gold price has escalated, the nation's largest gold
jewelry manufacturer developed a beautiful collection of bonded
karat gold and silver pieces that includes bangles, chains,
bracelets, fashionable earrings and pendants. New materials, new
techniques, and an aggressive new mantra to find affordable

quest for quality. Karat Gold Bonded is the standard for
full-precious, affordable, and quality product.
What is bonded gold jewelry?
BONDED describes jewelry that is composed of a sheet of karat
gold, which is mechanically affixed over a sterling silver core.
The 10 or 14-karat gold layer is bonded to the sterling silver by
a Proprietary Technology of mechanical bonding that uses heat and
pressure to form a uniform metallurgical bond changing the two
materials into one. Depending on the design, the layer of silver
may or may not be visible. All bonded product will have a metal
stamp disclosing the fraction of karat gold and sterling silver.
Why is bonded better?
The sterling silver core is covered with a permanent layer of 14
or 10k gold that is not removable. The gold thickness in bonded
product is greater than gold-plated product and the gold layer
will not wear off as is possible with gold-plated product. Bonded
product is very durable and long-lasting if cared for properly.
How to care for you bonded gold jewelry:
External surfaces of bonded jewelry are essentially karat gold,
and usually everything that is seen or touched is true karat
gold. Therefore, to care for Karat Gold Bonded Jewelry, use the
similar processes, as with normal karat gold jewelry, utilizing
gold jewelry cleaner and a soft polishing cloth.

About Bonded Gold Jewelry
What is bonded gold jewelry?
Bonded jewelry is composed of a sheet of karat gold, which is
fused over a sterling silver core. The gold layer is bonded to
the sterling silver through a special mechanical process that
uses heat and pressure to form a uniform metallurgical bond,
effectively fusing the two layers together. The sterling silver
core is covered with a permanent layer of gold that is not
removable. Bonded gold jewelry will bear metal stampings of both
the gold karatage and of sterling silver.
Why choose bonded gold?
The thickness of the gold layer in bonded products is far
greater than in gold-plated products, and the gold layer will not
fade or rub off with time and wear, offering more durability than
is generally found in gold-plated products. Bonded gold offers
the look and beauty of karat gold jewelry at a more accessible
price point.
How to care for bonded gold jewelry
External surfaces of bonded jewelry are karat gold and should be
cared for like other gold jewelry. Therefore, to care for bonded
gold jewelry, simply use gold jewelry cleaner and a soft
